GitHub downtime root cause analysis
No you didn't. They're doing what is often referred as "online schema change" using https://github.com/github/gh-ost (but the concept is the same than percona's pt-online-schema-change, or https://github.com/soundcloud/lhm.

Is there anything similar for MySQL? There is https://github.com/soundcloud/lhm but it's pretty much outdated nowadays

Do you use migrations for data manipulations? What are the pro's and con's ?
I may do it from the console or a task if I wanted to modify a large number of records, e.g. something in my Users table. I think you need a sense of how long the update will take - I'm not sure if there's any issue with migrations timing out or such like. If I modify my Users schema it takes 5 minutes or so as it has to make a copy of the table and swap it in and that works fine - https://github.com/soundcloud/lhm

Changing Tires at 100mph: A Guide to Zero Downtime Migrations
At least for Rails there are several gems available (ie https://github.com/WeTransfer/ghost_adapter or https://github.com/departurerb/departure) that seamlessly hook into the existing migration system and will run all eligible migrations through gh-ost or pt-osc as needed. You're right that it's not free but it isn't all that far off either.
That said, online schema migrations are a specialized tool designed for very big tables that take hours to run an ALTER TABLE on. If all your tables are small enough that alterations take less than a second or so, don't bother and just block the table for a bit. It's fine.

Database... or Goose?
https://github.com/WeTransfer/ghost_adapter integrates gh-ost with activerecord and the departure gem does the same but for pt-osc.
